Gmail.com was down • Hacker News Board

Is this affecting Chrome as well? Looks like it might be a bigger problem. It just crashed for three guys in our office within a few seconds of each other.

Edit: Nobody was using Gmail at any point.

time to switch to outlook.com

Or alternatively wait 2 minutes for it to come back up. C'mon - you can't complain about Gmail's uptime record.

Given the massive scale of Gmail and the infrastructure of Google, it's highly unlikely that the entire audience of Hacker News sitting and pressing F5 every second would hurt Google's ability to bring it back up.

Chrome Sync is crashing my Chrome every minute or so.
